I love my job, more or less, but WOW! What is with the kiddos this year? I teach 1st grade and this new crop of kids are bustering with enegry. Trying to get 23 super hyper kids to sit down and listen to me at one time has never felt so impossible. How is everyone else controlling their class?

I swear there's something in the water this year. These kids have been NUTS! I'm chalking most of it up to leftover energy from summertime, but they are really running me ragged. I'm hoping things will start to settle down in a few weeks once they're back into the routine of being at school.

I have felt exactly the same. Today, I became a little more strict with procedures: lining up quietly, keeping hands to themselves, and if they didn’t do it, we started all over again. It seemed to work just after the first time.
